Tour Scotland 4K Autumn travel video, with Scottish music, of a road trip drive on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to the Parish Church and graveyard in Findo Gask, Strathearn, Perthshire. This Scottish church located eight miles West of Perth was built in 1800. There are nearby remains associated with the Roman Road to the South and the Roman Frontier on the Gask Ridge. Lady Nairne was born Carolina Oliphant, at Gask House, Perthshire on 16th August 1766. She had three sisters and two brothers, and fortunately, her father was a progressive thinker for his time as he believed in education for girls as well as boys. Her father, Laurence Oliphant, and her mother's family, the Robertsons of Struan, were fierce supporters of the Jacobite movement. Both her father and grandfather had to leave Scotland after Culloden. Their lands were bought by relatives in the ensuing sales of forfeited estates. Her father suffered in poor health, brought on by his experiences whilst in exile, and to cheer him and her uncle, Duncan Robertson, Chief of Clan Struan, she composed Jacobite songs and set them to old tunes. Charlie is my Darling, Will Ye no Come Back Again, and The Hundred Pipers are examples of this. During the Second World War, units of the Polish Army were stationed at the now disused Findo Gask Airfield. The woodlands around Findo Gask are known to be excellent sites for the collection of truffles, particularly black truffles, and truffle hunters can often be observed there during certain seasons. Autumn leaf color or colour is a phenomenon that affects the normally green leaves of many deciduous trees and shrubs by which they take on, during a few weeks in the autumn season, various shades of red, yellow, purple, black, orange, pink, magenta, blue and brown. The phenomenon is commonly called autumn colours or autumn foliage in British English and fall colors, fall foliage or simply foliage in American English. Built on land once occupied by a Franciscan friary founded in around 1460, the graveyard has been restored and contains a number of Scottish headstones dating back hundreds of years. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. Find things to see and do in Scotland where you are always welcome.
